Eroglu: “We achieved convergences on some chapters at the give-and-take bargain”
According to Turkish Cypriot daily Vatan (12.10.11), Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu, speaking to reporters after his meeting with President Demetris Christofias within framework of Cyprus talks, said on Tuesday that they achieved convergences on some chapters at the give-and-take bargain, adding: “I can say that (11/10/11) it was a very fruitful day today. There were the papers that we exchanged last Friday. Today on the negotiation table, there were the proposals that we made. I can say that there was convergence in these proposals with some mutual steps taken. I want to say that we may close some [issues] on the Friday meeting.”

Referring to President Christofias’ statements on return of land, Eroglu argued that it is wrong to mention place’s names, when they still have not discussed maps and figures on the chapter of territory. He claimed that this influences negatively the negotiation process, adding that he conveyed that to the President Christofias.
